Welcome!
​
Unfortunately, due to market conditions I have decided to put this on hold until a time arrives that I feel is right. That offers this project the highest possibility of success, as it deserves nothing less.
​
This project is a culmination of the many experiences and learning I've had throughout my life. I am honored to start this journey with you! As with anything in real life (IRL) our road ahead is unknown. However, it has unlimited potential. Brian Tracy stated, "I believe the greatest successes you will ever attain are still waiting for you on the road ahead." I truly believe that, not just for this project, but for all of us.
​
There is so much planned from expanding the Crypto Currency art to providing holders with exciting ways to use their Fiat/Crypto Currency art. Each section within this website provides a significant amount of information. If you're able, please take the time to read it all. As it will give you a detailed understanding of who I am, what this project is about, it's mechanics and what you can expect moving forward. However, if you are short on time, there is a TL;DR page
This is only the beginning… buckle up! This is going to be a fun ride!

TL;DR
​
For 30 days the general public will be able to mint as many Fiat Currency art pieces as they would like. With a tiered price increase per Fiat Currency art piece starting at .000002. At the end of 30 days the burning phase will begin. Where on a first come first basis holders will be able to burn their Fiat Currency art for Crypto Currency art (BTC, ETH, BNB, and SOL). The total amount of each Crypto Currency art piece available and amount of Fiat Currency art required to burn was determined by looking at multiple data points from January 2020 through December 2022 for each coin. This framework sets the foundation on which this project will build upon moving forward. Holders will have multiple ways in which they can use their Crypto Currency art such as claim airdrops, burn for new art, burn for rarer versions of that coin and be used as whitelist passes.
The art produced will be within the theme of our universe. A dystopian society where a secret society called the Golden Circle seeks to balance the scale of power and control the government has over the people. Art will be created through multiple ways: Produced by me, produced by artist collaborations and by our holders. A significant aspect to this project is giving back to the holders. There will be multiple ways in which all holders who meet the requirements can be eligible. Future areas of exploration include but are not limited to Golden Circle PFP's, expanding into Ordinals, creating a token, purchasing metaverse land for a token gated location, expanding our coins into other communities, IRL collectables and merchandise. Through direct feedback from our holders we will decide together on the way forward. There is so much to look forward to and I hope you join us on this journey. I truly believe our possibilities are endless.
White Paper
So now you might be asking yourself after everything you've learned... what is the purpose of this project?
​
Above all else the core purpose is to provide an opportunity for us all to grow and move forward together. I've seen projects handled in so many ways in this space. Some have done a great job, while others have failed. Sadly, if you've been in this space for any decent amount of time you've been part of those not so good projects. Which our OpenSea hidden folders are a testament too.
​
More than anything I want to build something from the ground up with you. Something where we can all be active participants if we so desire. I want to give back and provide as much value as I possibly can to every holder. The sky is the limit. Nothing is off the table... I have a framework setup that will help to guide us moving forward. However, where we go and what we do will be a collaborative effort between us all. While always ensuring we remain on the cutting edge of this space. ​​
​
​
The Beginning
​
The initial mint of the Fiat Currency art and burning mechanism into the four types of Crypto Currency art are what will lay the foundation of this project. This puts into place a mechanism that we can build upon into the future that supports the universe we are creating. This is not your typical art project. The universe we are building will provide the themes, framework, and guardrails that we must stay within. By providing these three guiding pillars (themes, framework, and guardrails) holders are given the greatest opportunity to create and participate within our world. To start, holders will have a few different ways in which they can use their Fiat and Crypto Currency art. Holders will be able to claim free art based on the Crypto Currency art pieces they hold, soft stake, burn their Crypto Currency art for new pieces of art, burn for rarer pieces of their Crypto Currency and be used as whitelist passes into future art collaborations.
​
​
Our Universe
As you might have been able to pickup on within our website and looking at the Fiat Currency art piece. Our universe plays heavily on a dystopian society where the government has complete control over the people, though the people of this world may not realize it. Control is often best utilized when the person being controlled doesn’t even realize it. Which to me, mirrors many aspects within our society. High level the intent of this universe is to mirror our reality from being able to use your fiat currency to buy crypto currency and then using your crypto currency to buy art. As-well-as, addressing the government's control over us through multiple facets, however, none more powerful than money.
​
Out of a need to create a counterpoint to this evil and it's desire to control us, the Golden Circle was born. It is an ancient secret society that fights for the rights of the many, not the few in power. There have been many instances throughout history where the actions of the Golden Circle can be seen shifting the tide for the good of the people. Their lineage can be traced all the way back to the beginning of mankind. Just as a circle is never-ending, so to is the heritage of the Golden Circle.
​
The art produced within this project will play heavily on the themes of a dystopian society, the Golden Circle (secret society), propaganda style art and other themes that play into the universe we are creating. While the style of the art may differ, all themes created will relate in some way to our universe. Which will help to build out and provide texture to our world.
​
​
Our Art
As stated previously, this project is ours. I truly believe that. With this in mind, I have three ways in which art will be created:
-
I will personally be creating pieces of art for the community.
-
Collaborations with artists (more exciting news to come on this later).
-
We will be periodically taking feedback from holders on which artists they would like us to collaborate with. We are willing to work with any artist if it makes sense and is feasible.
-
-
Community Members (more details to follow)
-
We will create a framework (with community feedback) that will allow for the community to decide on which holder(s) they would like to produce art for an official release through our project.
-
There will be holder requirements on who can participate to make it fair.
-
The community artist will be compensated for their work.
-
-
​
Giving Back
This is a big one for me. I think giving back is one of the most important things we can do in this life. I absolutely want to give back to the community. However, the amount at which I can do that is going to be in direct relation to how well the projects does. Which I’m sure you understand. If we mint out enough Fiat Currency art pieces to burn for all the Crypto Currency art pieces, we will be able to do a lot more than if we only mint out 25%.
​
This is one area that I want to certainly get holder feedback, however, I also have some very strong opinions on this. Being in many projects. I have had the opportunity to participate in many events. However, the monetary and logistic restraints made most if not all of these events not feasible to attend. Having a family and a young daughter means I can’t always do what I’d really like to do. While your reasons may differ. I’m sure you’ve run into this as well. Because of this, I want to give back in very specific ways. Maybe there is a holder who lives in a remote area where there are no other holders. I don’t feel that holder should be excluded from the opportunity to be given back to. So maybe for that member we pay for a dinner out with them and a significant other, family member or friend. If there’s an area where there’s multiple holders, we could do dinner and drinks. The main point I’m trying to make on this is that I want everyone regardless of location to be able to participate and have an opportunity to be given back to as a thank you.
​
If we decide to produce merchandise. This is another area we can give back. With the option of hoodies, hats, shirts, and maybe even having our coins produced IRL. More to come on the coins though… I have some really big ideas on what we can do with those.
​
Our Future
What I love most about this project is that we are not bound to any one path. While we do have a framework. We as a community can decide to take this in an infinite number of ways. The possibilities are truly endless. A few areas of interest I have that we could look to expand into are:
​
-
Future burn events
-
Soft-staking
-
Creating Golden Circle PFP’s
-
Expanding into Ordinals for Bitcoin Currency art holders​
-
Purchasing land with certain metaverses to create token gated Golden Circle locations.
-
Expanding our digital coins as collaborations into other communities. Providing opportunities for both communities to expand their reach and opportunities for holders to gain more value.
-
Creating tokens (on Ethereum and/or Bitcoin)
-
IRL collectables and merchandise (more to come on this)
​
Wrapping it All Up
I know I have given a lot of information (if you've stuck with me this far I truly appreciate it), however, I think doing so is critical and not done enough in this space. Providing as much information as possible to allow people to make the most informed decision is paramount for me. I want to excite people about what we are building. So, they have a genuine desire to be active participants on this journey with us. More then anything, I just want to build something great with you all. That brings people value and by value it could be joy, excitement, growth, community, or anything else you are looking for in a project. I want us to encompass it all. While I can’t promise we’ll hit everyone of these marks perfectly. I can promise you, we are in this together and I will go to work everyday to make this project as successful as I possibly can. Of that you have my word.
​
I appreciate your time and willingness to even get this far into our project. I hope you’re willing to go a little farther and give us a chance. Because I can assure you, there is not another person in this space that will work harder for you then I will.

Mechanics
This experimental project seeks to test the fundamental concept of traditional NFT collection sizes. To start, this experiment will be accomplished through a novel burning process. This initial collection is the start of a multistage experimental project that will not only build upon the choices made during the initial minting/burning phase. It will also be affected by introducing new variables such as blockchain data, tokens, the global economy, as-well-as other correlational factors that are aligned to the project/experiment.
As we’ve seen throughout history, Fiat has an unlimited inflationary supply. Governments print more and more money to support their needs and not the needs of the people. Due to this fundamental characteristic. The Fiat Currency art will have an unlimited supply (technically up to 999,999,999) available to mint starting at .000002. Please be aware the cost to mint will have a tiered increase for 30 days (see chart below). Settling on a final price of .000004. This tiered approach was created to support our early supporters with decreased costs. As-well-as, align the final Fiat Currency art mint price to a level that supports our long term strategy. The amount of Fiat Currency art you choose to collect, will determine the amount of Crypto Currency art you can buy (burn) on a first come first served basis. Each piece of art represents a different currency, which is bound by its historical data points.
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Burning will start exactly 30 days after the Fiat Currency art piece is available to mint. This gives everyone a 30-day window to prepare and collect their Fiat Currency art pieces before the burning mechanism turns on. It also allows a window for new holders to be onboarded before the burning mechanism begins. Remember part of this experiment is to test the notion that less is more in this space. Something can can be numbered in the millions of pieces and still be considered desirable and valuable.
Monthly historical data points from January 2020 through December 2022 were taken to determine key metrics for each Crypto Currency art piece. The data was totaled and averaged into 4 weekly separate and distinct burning opportunities. The amount of Fiat Currency art required to burn for each Crypto Currency art piece and its supply is in direct correlation to its total averaged monthly historical data points (see chart below). Each week has its own unique cost (Fiat Currency art required to burn) and supply (amount of each individual Crypto Currency art available). With the average monthly value being the most heavily weighted characteristic. Each Fiat Currency art piece is given a fictional value of $1. It will require you to burn one Fiat Currency art piece for every dollar that the individual crypto currency was valued at, based upon its average historical data points.
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Once the burn phase is over, there will be no more of those specific Crypto Currency art pieces released again. There is one caveat to this rule, however. The total amount of Fiat Currency art available (999,999,999) is considerably higher then the amount able to be burned if every Crypto Currency art piece is minted (232,563,000). This was done purposefully, as there needs to be available Fiat Currency art for future mints, collaborations and other mechanisms that are going to be put into place. If the total amount of Fiat Currency art increases over the max burnable amount by 5% or more. We will allow the community to decide by vote how to proceed. At the end of the day, what we do not want is people buying Fiat Currency art and not being able to use it on the initial burn. While we feel this is an unlikely event. If for some reason it does happen. Please rest assured we have thought through this and are prepared with multiple ways forward.

What to Collect
​
While we do not want to give to much away upfront. There are some characteristics we feel are important to point out. The most important is the characteristics of how the project is minted. How you mint will alter some or possibly all of the points below. While the framework is in place, the details of how this will be built out is completely dependent upon you. There are going to be multiple ways in which you can participate within this project. You can buy Fiat Currency early and try to play the flip game due to the tiered cost increase, you can go for multiple sets, you can accumulate one or more of the coins for future events or any other way that is right for you. I can say there will be benefits to holding sets, as-well-as, holding multiples of coins. As with any secret society there are levels of membership... What you hold could effect that level of membership. Also as previously addressed, there will be opportunities to burn your Crypto Currency art pieces for rarer variations. Which could in turn be burned again for rarer variations. The point I'm trying to make is, with this or any other aspect of our project the sky is the limit. The intent is to always be moving forward by building, creating and growing together.

If there is anything you are confused about, need clarification or if you have any questions at all. Please reach out to us through one of our documented channels and we will be more then happy to help.
The Golden Circle
Little to nothing is known of the Golden Circle. And what is known, is no more credible than a faint whisper or a rumor once heard that can't be placed. One such whisper suggests their lineage can be traced back to the beginning of creation. Where their first Affiliate was created as an act of repentance to this fallen world. It was that singular moment in all of time, that changed everything forever.
The secrecy of its members are one of their greatest tenets. As those who seek ultimate control would spare no expense to eliminate even one of its members. This war has been wagging on since the dawn of man. Countless battles and wars have been won and lost on both sides. While the characters and stage may change. The reincarnation of evil and its desire to control never has.
Of what rumors have been whispered over millennia. Quite possibly the most important of all is the Prophecy of the Golden Dawn. No one outside of their Circle has ever been imbued with its knowledge. Though it has been suggested, that this prophecy foretells of the final battle. Where one way or another everything will change...
